It's hard to feel confident when everyone around me is perfectly pretty and wearing perfectly expensive labels and has perfectly pretty labeled friends. Not to mention that they're smart enough to be at one of the top universities in the country, so I've got nothing on them there

If there's one thing I can guarantee you, it's that you're not average or insignificant. At least you have mutual friends on your blog. I only have 3.

Anyway, I know people from Texas, all parts of Wisconsin, DC, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, California, Germany, and this one guy from Singapore. And of all the people I know, you'd be one I consider to be unique. Maybe it's cause you're Canadian. Maybe it's cause you have a nice rack. But I'm thinking maybe it's because there's no one quite like you. And that's coming from a guy who can crack his sternum like it's a knuckle. You're one of the few girls I actually like hanging out with, even though you physically and verbally assault my manhood. Remember this, because I don't do in-depth (heh) posts like this often. Hardly ever, actually.

1.)you're not average or boring...
2.)try and find the point in Conor's reply in which I started giggling like a school girl.
3.)Black baggy pants with shinys all over them are a nice way to stand out. :D

Ooh! Ooh! I found it!

But, see, you guys are missing the point.
I know it doesn't matter and I'm not all that crap, but around here, it can feel that way. At home I have something I am/people I can associate with. Here I don't fit. And even if they're my friends and I have fun, I just feel second rate, I guess. Kinda.. 'why look at me or talk to me, all these people are twenty times prettier and more fashionable and they have communication/gossip/popular skills' sorta idea.

But it's not even like it bothers me that much, it's mostly just a thing to reflect on. Yeah.

What? WHAT? I didn't miss the point. I think in parables and analogies. I don't miss a thing.

I wasn't saying that you're oh so special and that's what counts. I was saying that you sell yourself short. They aren't twenty times prettier than you, and that it is because you aren't super trendy and/or don't have popular skills that you are unique, and unique = sexy. Though I can't really say whether or not you fit in, since I don't know anything about Canada (except prescription drugs are cheaper) or your college. You can't fit in everywhere, otherwise you'd be acting.

i was going to type all this philosophical crap about imperfection being perfection and all that jazz. but you know it all. or have heard it somewhere sometime before i'm sure. wasn't very original... so instead i say that you don't need to have the guts to be a rebel, but you should have the guts to be yourself, whatever that may be. which i think you do. you said you've "got nothing on them," but i would disagree. keep the confidence despite how "pretty" everyone else tries to portray themselves, because behind the label they're wearing is probably a hole of unconfidence. (i think thats a word... it just sounds funny...)

...ugh, just thinking about the majority of people wearing labels and junk and yuck i feel sick...
